Adalie is a princess of the aviation industry who grew up in the lap of luxury thanks to her parents' company, but when she loses both of her parents in an accident, she inherits the position of CEO to what used to be an industry-leading company she barely understands. Pressures from the board and the prospect of soon shutting down the family airline don't make Adalie's adjustment to CEO any easier. At a loss for how she will save the business, she searches her father's office for an answer, finding only an old business card from a General Electric scientist in Munich with a note written on the top: "Call if you ever want to push the limits of technology to improve your airline." Pushing the limits is exactly what Adalie needs, so she travels to Munich to seek help from the scientists at General Electric's Global Research Center, unaware of how drastically this trip would not only change her company, but her life forever.

After many years, many edits, and over 500k reads on Wattpad, The Divide is finally published on Amazon! It's 2028, and Earth has been under attack by an alien species for two years. This human-like alien species, called Emigres, left their planet to start over after ruining it with constant nuclear war. Looking much like us, the only physical difference between humans and Emigres are that the Emigres have violet eyes. After wiping out much of the human race, the Emigres closed off an area of land in the United States and called it the Reserve. Any humans who surrender will be placed in there, and anyone who refuses to surrender is immediately killed. 18-year-old Rachel Collins has spent the last two years in the Reserve, but talk about a group of humans building an army outside the walls has her curious to see what lies beyond them. When her father escapes to join the rebels, Rachel plans her escape as well. What are the Emigres planning, and will the rebels be able to stop it? Rachel is about to find out, and only one thing is certain: the end of our world is the beginning of theirs. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Book One in the Soldiers of the Earth series RANKED #8 IN SCIENCE FICTION SELECTED BY THE 5TH WAVE MOVIE FOR STRONG FEMALE LEAD CHOSEN AS WATTPAD BOOK OF THE WEEK: http://cbybookclub.blogspot.co.uk/2015/07/book-of-week-wattpad_11.html
